2017 R4 - Wests Tigers 14-22 Storm @ Leichhardt

[Rabbits20]

Did we do any fitness in preseason?

Nope!!!!!

 

[TheFrog]

Not a single penalty in the second half.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Congrats storm far too good after a horrible first 40. Tigers should have been minimum 20-0 up, that's where it was lost. Hopefully Joel Edwards is out for the season cause he's 3 dropped balls were the turning point

 

[TheFrog]

Moses is so bad

I thought he was their best player.

 

[wibble]

Typical Storm like start...grinding the wins, we'll be right

No team plays their best for 24 rounds. But you guys still win when not at your best. That is why the Storm will again go deep into the finals.

 

[Hawkins]

Raiders fans do you think the game is rigged now?

it was tigers were just a little stronger

 

[Clifferd]

Nope!!!!!

Of course you'd reply haha

 

[Someguy]

I thought he was their best player.

Agreed looked genuinely dangerous with the ball, and was the only one to give a decent chase on those two long range tries

Tigers remind me of playing board games against my sister back in the day, she flips the board over after I roll a 6 ( Cam Smith 20/20) when shes losing half way through and gives up. Woeful today after being gifted 70% possesion in first 35 mins. The next time I hear 'spirited effort' ill puke

 

[TheFrog]

Tigers should have been minimum 20-0 up,

They bombed another one right at the start, too.

I think the Tigers will win some games this year. Maybe make the finals or get close like last year, especially if they get Cleary. But they need to take their chances. They didn't last week and they didn't today. They didn't the week before last either. And they need to somehow learn to play 80 minutes, that's going to be a tougher assignment.

 

[Clifferd]

Can we please change the rules and shorten games to 40 or even 30 minutes. We might go undefeated then

You guys aren't big enough to win the 40 minute comp. Raiders would romp that one.

Have we upgraded from our school gymnasium we were training out of yet. I know we were down to 2 on the bench but they look so unfit.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Tigers to get off to a flying start but tipping Melbourne to run them down.

 

[Rabbits20]

I'd say Cleary can't fix it this season.

He will have to clear out some duds at the end of this season!!!

 

[gordynz]

Should've been 20 - 0 at half time. I swear the Tigers can't catch a break, they were good for 90% of the game but the difference was that the Storm took their chances.

Moses cops a lot of stick, but at least the bloke gives it 110%. The only one trying till the very last second. Sure he makes some mistakes but you can iron them out of his game and eventually the good is going to outweigh the bad.

Bellamy got his 250th premiership win today. He has coached the Storm since 2003.

Meanwhile the Panthers travel to Melbourne next weekend to take on Bellamy's side looking for their 500th premiership win since 1967.

Not a single penalty in the second half.

And yet there were at least 8 Storm tackles involving headlocks or pressure on the neck with a forearm, with Smith being a serial offender.

 

[Clifferd]

Hopefully that's enough to see Edwards never play 1st grade again
